Hey Polnaroff was able to get a free hit that way . If he had used the UV lamp, Dio would be dead.

You know I've always felt weird for really liking Polnareff as a character. Not just for the dumb things but the fact that life just shits on him constantly, for no real reason, and he's just moving on as well as he can.

I think it says a lot that when he gets two wishes his wishes are to do impossible things and not a really hard thing. As far as he was aware he could have wished DIO dead in a single second, but I honestly believe that he didn't have a doubt in his mind that they couldn't beat him.

And then, without knowing about timestop, he gets a solid fucking hit in on DIO. DIO literately admits he was super fucking close to killing him and I love that.

tl;dr: Polnareff bost boy, dont let him suffer, save his legs.

Yeah
In part five he's just a shell of his former self.
:cool:
 
Actually, it might not be a bad idea to try bouncing ideas for Hamon Bullshit off of our gramps while we have him available. Could we make special Hamon Shades (possibly with Hamon-conducting frames made by the Speedwagon Foundation) that would let us shoot Hamon Lasers at vampires through the lenses? Hell, Caesar was able to use Hamon energy to control peoples' movements and even pull some kind of dim mak fuckery - any idea how we could start figuring that shit out?
 
As I understand, Luck and Pluck was shattered by Dio shortly before Jonathan shattered him. A bokken would work somewhat better at conducting Hamon, however.

Alright! We'll just have it reforged with new, Hamon-friendly alloys by the Speedwagon Foundation. Seriously, if those guys haven't been researching the mysterious energy that can melt vampires and let people live for centuries, then they're just hopeless.

Speaking of which, I eagerly await the moment when Joseph reveals that his grey hair and wrinkles are actually a disguise. Sure, he's technically an old man, but his youthful Hamon-infused body needs assistance if he's going to be able to actually enjoy being a senior citizen. By which I mean "get away with shit a younger-looking man couldn't, because most cultures give old people extra leeway."
 
As funny as that would be, part 4 makes it pretty damn clear he's actually old.

Although personally, I've always attributed his abrupt horrific aging to Dio eating him.

Well, yeah. Before then, though? Either Hiriko Araki forgot what Hamon even was, or Joseph was trolling everybody. In any multiple-choice scenario, "Joseph is trolling" is always the most likely answer.

It's because Joseph is a lazy shit and decided not to practice his Hamon.

Which, considering it's just goddamn breathing and he could do it without being trained, is a truly epic feat of sloth. Oh, how the once-noble Joestar line has fallen, to become a lineage of punks, hoodlums, and outright gangsters.
 
Metal is a fine conductor for Hamon, it's just organic stuff retains a charge even after you stop supplying energy to it.
 
The aging issue is the other reason I'm glad he's teaching us hamon. If we're practicing he needs to practice as well. So much less chance of going senile.
 
I just thought of something. The reason Jotaro doesn't get much use of Star Platinum's ability to stop time in canon is because it puts a strain on his heart, which DIO is protected from due to his vampirism. But Hamon use strengthens the body... ALL of the body... which will reduce or negate the stress of using Time Stop... and we've already had him use it once in this quest...

As that is not at all how one should hold a gun, even a Stand gun, yes, very shameful.

That's actually just Emperor in mid-manifestation. Notice how the gun clips through his thumb and index finger?

It's much clearer in the anime, but Emperor actually 'spins' while manifesting a very short distance from Hol Horse's hand before he grasps it.

...the same heart that he stopped manually, and then pumped himself through Star Platinum? :???:

...I don't see how that's much of a limitation. :V

Yes, that heart. And do you even know just how close he came to DYING just then?! And that certainly opened him up to heart problems down the line... or it would have, if Pucci hadn't killed him.
